can You spot any difference between this k-5 and k-7 ? I cannot see anything

Nope, it's the same - even if this isn't a legit image, the K-5 I'm sure will be of similar proportions and design to the K-7.

We are missing some accessories to come with it. The WR Flash system.

not bad ! like K-7

But in real it would be a little bit different

jmbradd · 09-09-2010, 11:27 PM

that picture is not a k7...k7 the mode selector has 3 rows of raised bumps while the camera in that picture's mode selector has 4. Not definitive (if you photoshop k5 onto something you could photoshop a different mode selector).

Oh wow, good catch! I bet this really is a K-5. A row of bumps would be a strange thing to photoshop in (especially if it is the only thing).

the AF selector knob is different too, on the "k-5" its beveld and on the k-7 it is not.

Indeed a good catch.
Notice that the focus selector switch looks slightly different too...

edit: jmbradd beat me to it!

The lens on the K-5 looks fake - look at the reflections on the "glass"

looks very fake but then again it looks almost exactly like this...

funny how something fake makes it seem more legit

Kenn100D · 09-09-2010, 11:37 PM

Look at flash sync cover

Vaikis_ · 09-09-2010, 11:39 PM

I see FF sensor inside

You still have hope for FF?
I think FF almost doesn't make sense.
I mean look at the SNR levels in the K-r RAW files....
They seem almost as good as current FF files.

I would not call that SAFOX iX+ but rather SAFOX X+.

And price is a bit too high for that spec imo.

The number does not refer to the AF points. remember that there is a version of the Safox VIII with only 5 points in the Ist DL/K2000

i was just joking

Yes no FF these years !!!
Because this picture is a little bit different from one which I saw

K-5 use Safox X not IX+

Christopher M.W.T · 09-10-2010, 12:05 AM

One of my sources is pretty adamant that the K-5 is identical body to the K-7.

This source disputes the 50 ISO and a few of the things i've posted.

But has confirmed 19 focus points/
